John was the seventh child and youngest son of Reuben and Mary (Goforth Hudson) Gunn. Reuben was born in Europe, and arrived at the port of Charleston, South Carolina, in 1754. During the Revolutionary War he served as a soldier.
John married Sarah Sweeney, twin sister of Ursula Sweeney, who married John's brother James Gunn, the founder of this cemtery. The four are buried in a row on the crest of the south hill, the twins side-by-side and their husbands flanking them.
Sarah and Ursula were the oldest daughters of Bernard and Frances (Walker) Sweeney. Bernard was a British soldier sent to America to fight in the Revolution. He decided to stay here, and fought on the side of America in the War of 1812. He was killed near Memphis, Tennessee, 22 December 1814. He was a tailor by trade.
John and Sarah had a very small family by the standards of the time: Reuben Washington, who married Ellen Baird; Eaton W., who died at 17; and Frances Wilmington, who married first Franklin Brown and after his death William Woods. She moved to Kansas, where she died.
It is possible that John and Sarah's son Eaton is buried in this cemetery, he died in 1834, which was after his family moved to Illinois. No tombstone has been found for him.
